If a survivor places a scissors lock on the Rescue Swimmer, how should the Rescue Swimmer respond?

When a survivor places a scissors lock on a Rescue Swimmer, the appropriate response is to place one hand between the ankles of the survivor. This technique helps to create space and disrupt the lock that the survivor has created with their legs. By positioning a hand between the ankles, the Rescue Swimmer can effectively separate the survivor’s legs, which can allow for further movements and assist in gaining control of the situation.

This approach minimizes the risk of injury to both the swimmer and the survivor while maximizing the chance of successful extraction from the situation. It’s essential for the Rescue Swimmer to keep calm and use technique rather than sheer force, as breaking free violently could lead to further complications or panic. Using this method ensures a safer and more effective resolution to the encounter with the survivor.
